It is perfectly legal for a student to be on two electoral registers (one at home and one at Uni). It is also perfectly legal for theat student to vote twice in local elections as they spend half their time in both places and so must have local representation.
However, AFAIK, it is illegal for a student to vote twice in the same election (General, European, etc.) but I do not know how much post-election checking is done to chase up anybody who has done so.
